2011 Nissan Quest

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED OFF ROAD AND AS THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY STATED TO THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST HER WITH THE FAILURE AND COULD NOT DIAGNOSIS THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD ALSO OCCUR WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS LESS THAN HALF FULL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

PURCHASED BRAND NEW VEHICLE ON 4/20/11, ON 7/20/11 CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD TO TOW CAR TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY AND THEY WOULD RECHARGE IT. WE REQUESTED THAT THEY INSTALL A NEW BATTERY AND THEY FINALLY DID. YESTERDAY 3/3/11 WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WENT INTO A STORE FOR 5 MINUTES, RETURNED TO THE CAR AND IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN. AS OF THIS WRITING NOT SURE WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE. SINCE THE 3RD WAS A SATURDAY, OUR CAR IS NOW SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WE ARE SITTING BY THE COMPUTER BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. JUST NOTICED A NEW RECALL WHEN I WENT ON THIS WEBSITE FOR THE QUEST BUT NOT SURE IF THIS IS PART OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE CANNOT ALLOW NISSAN TO GET AWAY WITH PUTTING CUSTOMERS IN DANGER. I AM AWAITING THE RESULTS OF THEIR EVALUATION. THIS CAR WAS JUST IN FOR SERVICE ON 2/11/11 WITH A COMPLETE CHECK OF THE SYSTEM AND WE WERE TOLD EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. 3 WEEKS LATER WE HAVE A CAR THAT IS SITTING IN THEIR LOT WAITING TO BE LOOKED AT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HILL THE CAR WILL STALL IF THE GAS TANK READS LESS THAN 90 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR IN TOWN. TODAY THIS HAPPENED WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. THE VAN STALLED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHICH CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SAID THAT NISSAN IS "WORKING" ON FIXING THE PROBLEM BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR US. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ONE QUARTER FULL AND THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A SLOPE, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO COAST TO LEVEL GROUND OR ADD MORE FUEL TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,567.

MY ENGINE KEEP SHUTTING OFF, IT HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHEN MY CAR'S FUEL DOWN TO LESS THAN 25% OF TANK OR AROUND 60 MILES LEFT, AND THE CAR DOWNHILL ONLY. EXAMPLE: I WAS PULLING OUT MY CAR OUT FROM DRIVE WAY AND DOWN TO STREET, IT KEEP SHUTTING OFF, OR MY CAR CUTTING FUEL. COULDN'T PULL MY CAR UNTIL MY CAR PUT IN IGNITION ON AND HAVE SOMEONE TO PUSH TO LEVEL ON THE STREET. THEN MY CAR CAN START ON THE ENGINE. IT WAS SO DANGEROUS, BECAUSE THE BRAKE WAS OFF AND ENGINE WAS OFF, HAVE SOMEONE TO PUSH THE CAR. ALSO, I AM AFRAID WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE ROAD, IF SUDDENLY HAPPEN LIKE THAT. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO... THIS IS CAR ALWAYS DRIVE WITH THE MY KIDS. *TR

QUEST CONSTANTLY STALLS WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL WITH LESS THAN 1/4 TANK OF FUEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS. 1) BACKING OUT OF STEEP DRIVEWAY, APPROX HALFWAY UP DRIVEWAY THE ENGINE STALLED AND VAN ROLLED FORWARD. WE COULD NOT GET THE VAN RESTARTED AND HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND THE ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED NO PROBLEM. DTE SHOWED OVER 100 MILES UNTIL EMPTY. 2) DRIVING DOWN HILL ON BACK ROAD VAN STALLED. DTE SHOWED 75 MILES UNTIL EMPTY. VAN WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED WHEN ON FLAT SURFACE. 3) STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT ON SLIGHT DOWN HILL. DTE SHOWED 90 MILES UNTIL EMPTY. VAN STARTED BACK UP IMMEDIATELY. 4) DRIVING DOWNHILL ON BUSY URBAN STREET. DTE SHOWED OVER 100 MILES UNTIL EMPTY. VAN WAS RESTARTED AFTER ADDING GASOLINE. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS IT COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF IT HAPPENS ON A BUSY ROAD. *TR

NEAR MISS WITH A STALLING NISSAN QUEST SL 2011. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ACCIDENTS AND DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I BOUGHT A NISAN QUEST SL IN NOVEMBER 2011. BACK IN DECEMBER 2011 WHILE HAVING A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN A QUARTER TANK OF GASOLINE I MADE A LEFT TURN TO GET INTO INCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE STALLED RIGHT ON THE TRAFFIC LANE, FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NOT ANY CARS CLOSE TO MY VEHICLE. INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN AN ISOLATED EVENT, BUT MY WIFE COMMENTED THAT THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED TO HER. THIS WEEKEND WHILE DRIVING DOWN HILL AND ENTERING AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN (I WAS GOING STRAIGHT, WITHOUT TURNING) AND THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP WHEN I LOST SPEED, THEY ALMOST HIT US. FROM THE EVENTS EXPLAINED ABOVE I ASSUME THE FUEL INJECTION IS FAILING DUE TO A BAD GAS TANK DESIGN AND/OR THE TURNING AND/OR DRIVING DOWN HILL MAY BE CONTRIBUTING DUE TO THE UNEVEN FLOW OF GASOLINE. AGAIN THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT MAY CAUSE SEVERE ACCIDENTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN A LOCAL STREET, ENGINE TURNED OFF. HAD ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT IN TANK. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS DUE TO GOING DOWN HILL. WHEN ENGINE TURNED OFF I WAS ABLE TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL UNTIL I PULLED OVER AT A FLAT PART OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO TURN MINIVAN BACK ON ONCE I STOPPED AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS. INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 2/20/2012. AGAIN, THERE WAS ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT. WENT OVER A MAJOR BRIDGE AND ON THE WAY DOWN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL DOWN TO A FLAT SURFACE. CAR DIDN'T TURN ON IN MY FIRST ATTEMPT BUT DID TURN ON SECOND ATTEMPT ABOUT A MINUTE LATER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN QUEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH INTO A GAS STATION, THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS IF IT WERE GOING TO STALL. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND REFUELED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS FUEL PRESENT IN THE FUEL TANK AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ALSO INDICATED THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH FUEL LEFT TO TRAVEL APPROXIMATELY FIFTY MILES. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS AND THE VEHICLE STALLED ON A FEW OCCASIONS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT UNWANTED MOISTURE MAY BE ENTERING THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK FOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,750.
